I'm just starting out in the world of cinematography and video editing, but I plan to move forward with it... can anyone give me a few pointers on where to start?

What I am most curious about is what the features on my camera (Sony VX2000) are for and when & why to use them.. white balance, shutter speed, aperture, ND filters, Zebra pattern, etc.

any good online tutorials?
websites?
books?
youtube videos?
